Quote: We saw the mist of Gullfoss well before we arrived at this remarkable geological feature, and then were unsure whether to continue on the main road or take a smaller right fork. As it happens, it wouldn’t have mattered, because both lead to car... Read the full Gullfoss review

Gullfoss
Quote: A beautiful series of waterfalls located along the 'Golden Circle' tour of S.W. Iceland. It is well worth the trip to this remote National Park, but bring food and water with you as there are very few amenities along the way. If you travel in the... Read the full Gullfoss review
